Abstract
The interest of this chapter centres on the partial vocabulary knowledge which locates at any point between the two poles in the continuum on vocabulary knowledge. It focuses on the partial vocabulary knowledge process of mapping the form and meaning of a word. In this chapter, partial knowledge is defined as the intermediate stages between an unknown and a well-known word (Zareva 2014). The intermediate stages include recognition of existence (Dale 1965; Shore/Durso 1990) and rough characterisation or vagueness of word meaning (Bruton 2007; Dale 1965; Henriksen 1999; Haastrup/Henriksen 1998; Smith 1987; Wesche/Paribakht 1996).
